We like people to post third party articles so that everyone can talk about them. We would kill to have Hubski be the place on the web where artists, writers, poets and thinkers of all sorts put their thoughts out there (whether directly posting them or linking to their personal site--just the same to us) for the world to see. We're not allowing you to post your stuff here. We're helping each other by encouraging you to do so. Big fukn difference.I sometimes feel bad about posting original content (don't want to feel like a spammer!)
Amen brother. Creatives of the world, let Hubski be your safe-haven. Our lamp is raised for you: Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she
With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
I must give credit to mk as he has referenced this poem in regards to Hubski before.
Bring them on! The more the merrier. There are a lot of great people that came from over there.
Being able to sustain that "small tight knit" feel while simultaneously growing is paramount. I think our architecture will serve us well.
I'm not to bad
:-)
What I think b_b is saying is that it's not that we are permitting you to do so, we are encouraging it. The world needs creatives! They should be celebrated. Will there be those that post their own content for monetary gain and with no thought to the Hubski community? Sure, but I just ignore those types and they disappear. But yes, please submit original content directly or via links.
Ah yeah that makes much more sense. Although I do think hubski shouldn't be the place where artists just showcase their work. There are better sites for that (behance, soundcloud, deviantart). I'd love to see this as a place to discuss works of creation, to find meaning in them and get a conversation with the artist.
